The last two years have been rather odd. This past winter the water in NJ was the warmest Iíve felt in 25 years and was preceded by the coldest water Iíve ever felt the winter before. The warmer water has me wondering is this the year our number is up (northeast)? We are overdue for a hurricane beating.

ND, I didn't forget. Irene made a big mess and some surf too. I'm talking cat 3 + with gnarly storm surge making landfall in the tri-state area. I stayed on the island for Irene and if a MAJOR hurricane were on its way I'd be running for the hills literally. ND, Irene made landfall as a cat 1, have you forgotten the Saffir Simpson Scale goes up to cat 5?

i understand it could've been much worse, but irene really was a big hit for most of the tri-state area. it was actually worse farther north than on the island here. i agree we still haven't seen anything of the nature you're talking about but irene was close
